So I just got back from seeing the movie. I guess you really didn't watch much of Sex and the City in the past... nothing terribly new or different from the show. The movie was entertaining, good, funny, but not *great*, and a bit long...As one reviewer said, it's like Indiana Jones 4 - you know what you are going to get.

A lovely post, its like friend of mine that stays back in my hometown. I dont want to have a life similar to his at all, but I will advise all the dates to go through life with him, great pal, great partner etc. Just if You become a waste after the story, dont blame me. Lol.

Of course at age 51, Samantha is still alone and childless, too. I think her philosophy works if her life goal truly is merely self gratification and self interest. Samantha's narcissism has always seemed a bit extreme, but also a useful cautionary metaphor. If life's happiness also includes sharing a life successfully long term with a partner and having children, then Samantha's philosophy also demonstrates why this has not happened for her character. She does not lament this outcome at all, so it seems to truly be her choice for happiness. Will Megan also not lament such an outcome when she is still alone and childless at 51? Or will she be huddled with her cats wondering why "life was so unfair"? -Xerxes Blue

Xerxes Blue - for one thing, not all women want to have children. Samantha, Megan - they don't necessarily need to be in a relationship not to feel lonely. Some of the most lonely people in the world are married...And this doesn't go just for women either.

One thing about Sex and the City the movie as well as the series in general is that there is very little reference to any siblings, parents, relatives, etc. in the four women's lives - which is I think not realistic at all. I think only one episode deals with their family at all - Miranda's mother's funeral.
